Azide-rich peptides via an on-resin diazotransfer reaction.

ABSTRACT: Azide-containing amino acids are valuable building blocks in peptide chemistry, because azides are robust partners in several bioorthogonal reactions. Replacing polar amino acids with apolar, azide-containing amino acids in solid-phase peptide synthesis can be tricky, especially when multiple azide residues are to be introduced in the amino acid sequence. We present a strategy for effectively incorporating multiple azide-containing residues site-specifically.
